How do I load another layer on a pad on my Alesis Sample Pad Pro?

You can load up to 2 samples (referred to as Layers) per 1 pad or trigger input. The 2 Layers are referred to as A and B and they can only be accessed if you are using samples from a SD card (LOC:CARD). You can select a velocity range setting (shown as Vel: 000-127) for each of these layers, so that each sample will only trigger when a pad or external trigger is struck with that velocity amount. If multiple layers are set to the same velocity range on a pad or external trigger input, they will both trigger at the same time when the pad or external trigger is struck.

To assign a sound to one of the layers of a pad or ext. trigger:

1. Move the cursor to the Sample Location parameter by pressing the Cursor Up and Cursor Down buttons.
2. Use the Cursor Left or Cursor Right buttons to set the Sample Location to LOC:CARD.
3. Move the cursor to the Layer parameter by pressing the Cursor Up or Cursor Down buttons.
4. Use the Cursor Left or Cursor Right buttons to select the layer that you would like to configure.
5. Move the cursor to the “Vel:” parameter by pressing the Cursor Up or Cursor Down buttons.
6. Use the Cursor Left or Cursor Right buttons to adjust the velocity range to configure when the sample assigned to this layer should play.
7. Move the cursor to the Sample Name parameter by pressing the Cursor Up or Cursor Down buttons.
8. Use the Cursor Left or Cursor Right buttons to browse the SD card and select the sample that you would like to assign to this layer.
